    The thing is, Siri cannot even tell you what month it is. Try it, “Siri, what month is it”.

    I thought you may have been exaggerating when you wrote this, but I asked Siri just now what month it is, and it replied with “I don’t understand”. Unreal. 
    Now try "is it April?"

  • Inside Apple Books -- the best app for book lovers

    Shame that they're so rough on the eyes when using an Apple device.  An e-bookstore without an e-ink reader is a losing proposition.

    If you don't already know, perhaps you should pause on commenting in public until you've spent 15 seconds figuring it out.

    I am obviously not one of those people, so am asking why.  Your answer is not illuminating.
    Are you retired? If so then don’t worry about it. 
    I am not.  I work in enterprise software development.  I have seen nothing significantly useful from this AI revolution so far, just a lot of fakery, deception and disruption of trust.  These are unequivocally bad things to my mind.

    So I ask again, why would I want to run an AI model?  Locally or otherwise?
    It's probably best that you don't use them -- leave it to others. Just stick to your comfort zone. 
    If you can’t think of any answers it’s perfectly fine to just say so.

  • EU will force Apple to totally expose its iPhone features to all who ask

    Excellent work by the EU.  Apple dug their own hole here.
